Hi :) Sorry! 2 waggle-the-wires 'answers'. Have you tried getting to the libreoffice splash-screen (ie with no documents open) and then dragging the html file into the grey area where a document would normally be showing?
Also have you tried using File - Open and then navigated to the html file to see if that opens it?
